Designing to Optimize Manufacturability

LightPath

“OpticStudio makes it easy to use different optimization techniques at different points in the process. Using OpticStudio allowed us to work in the most efficient way possible.”

View Case Study

光学和光子学领袖LightPath需要一个赌注ter way of managing the complexities of its designs for aspheric lenses, which can be very expensive to machine. To ensure their aspheric lens designs were production ready, LightPath used OpticStudio to apply local and global optimization, Hammer Optimization (which helps seek out design solutions outside the local space), and Contrast Optimization to refine the designs for peak optical performance before manufacturing. By reducing the number of costly prototypes, LightPath saved time and money and helped more rapidly generate viable, marketable products. Optimization toolsets in OpticStudio empowered the LightPath teams to focus on quality, performance, and workflow automation while getting to market faster through predictive manufacturability.
